simon barr Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I am having trouble finding a 35Mhz Futaba Dual conversion Rx crystal on channel 77.... I have been told that they are no longer being made, along with all the other channels I suspect. I still use 35Mhz as well as 2.4Ghz, as, I'm sure many others do, but if we can no longer get the spares then 35Mhz will not survive.

John Laverick Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 John you can still buy synthesized dual conversion receivers from GS, which work on ch 60 to 80. All my planes have them in, Cheap as chips as well. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have a couple of synth JR receivers for sale - you don't need xtals in them. I think 35mhz is practically dead, anyway, as xtals are hard to come by and apart from second hand receivers, that's about it - unless you count model shop stock, but the prices don't reflect its popularity - too high.

Stevo Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 "There was a time.."... Whoops to much G 'n' R Rewind 2-3 years, you could almost go and buy a Spektrum radio and a couple of RXs.. then almost recoup your costs by ebaying the old 35MHz stuff. No longer...
